Quality and Safety Standards in Pharmaceutical Practices and Pharmaceutical Care

Background

Pharmaceutical care puts first the patient's quality of life through the provision of safe and efficient healthcare, while respecting the needs of healthcare professionals and society in general.

In continuing with the programme of activities carried out under the aegis of the former Partial Agreement in the Social and Public Health field, the Committee of Experts on quality and safety standards in pharmaceutical practices and pharmaceutical care (CD-P-PH/PC) was entrusted with improving pharmaceutical care and practices in community care homes and in ambulatory and hospital care services through specific programmes and policies.
